''Simuliidae'' of the superfamily ''Chironomoidea'' are blood sucking parasites, most active in the morning and evening on warm, cloudy days. They can cause painful, irritating bites and anaemia if present in large numbers. They are vectors for disease, aiding the spread of viruses such as [[Equine Encephalitis Virus|Eastern equine encephalitis]] and vesicular stomatitis.
